Google has begun rolling out new "Theft Protection" features to Android, including Theft Detection Lock and Offline Device Lock. As shared by Mishaal Rahman, the feature uses AI along with a device’s motion sensors to attempt detecting “common motion associated with theft.” So, when someone snatches your phone and runs away either on foot or by vehicle, the phone automatically locks the screen preventing unwanted access.
